[[Category:Fonts]] ==Overview== This page describes how to map a Sans Serif font to the {{cmd|ss}} command and a Serif font to the {{cmd|rm}} command. This page also describes how typefaces differ from typescripts. ==Requirements== This example uses Nimbus, which is a GPL font. Check whether Nimbus is available by running the following command: mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=nimbus* This should reveal a list similar to the following: nimbusromno9lmedi nimbusromno9lmedi utmb8a.afm nimbusromno9lmedibold nimbusromno9lmedi utmb8a.afm nimbusromno9lmediital nimbusromno9lmediital utmbi8a.afm nimbusromno9lregu nimbusromno9lregu utmr8a.afm nimbusromno9lreguital nimbusromno9lreguital utmri8a.afm nimbusromno9lregunormal nimbusromno9lregu utmr8a.afm nimbussanlbold nimbussanlbold uhvb8a.afm nimbussanlboldital nimbussanlboldital uhvbo8a.afm nimbussanlregu nimbussanlregu uhvr8a.afm nimbussanlreguital nimbussanlreguital uhvro8a.afm nimbussanlregunormal nimbussanlregu uhvr8a.afm If the font is not shown, you might have to install the font, which can be found on some systems at: /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts You may use a different font; please see [[Fonts_in_LuaTeX#Building_the_font_database|how to install fonts to MkIV]] for details. ==Script== Configure a font follows: <texcode>% Enable Unicode fonts\enableregime[utf] % Enable Capital Letter use\setupcapitals[sc=yes] % Define a script named [serif][nimbus]\starttypescript [serif] [nimbus] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:nimbusromno9lregu] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [name:nimbusromno9lbold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [name:nimbusromno9lreguital] \definefontsynonym [SerifSlanted] [name:nimbusromno9lreguital] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [name:nimbusromno9lboldital] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldSlanted] [name:nimbusromno9lboldital] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [name:nimbusromno9lregu]\stoptypescript % Define a second script named [sans][nimbus]\starttypescript [sans] [nimbus] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [name:nimbussanlregu] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [name:nimbussanlbold] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [name:nimbussanlreguital] \definefontsynonym [SansSlanted] [name:nimbussanlreguital] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [name:nimbussanlboldital] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [name:nimbussanlboldital] \definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [name:nimbussanlregu]\stoptypescript % Define the typeface nimbus; use serif for rm-fonts, sans serif for ss-fonts.\definetypeface [nimbus] [rm] [serif] [nimbus]\definetypeface [nimbus] [ss] [sans] [nimbus] % Indicate the typeface to use.\usetypescript[nimbus][uc]\setupbodyfont[nimbus,rm,10pt] \starttext Regular, {\it Italic}, {\bf Bold}, {\bi Bold-Italic}, {\sc KaPiTaLe} \showbodyfont \stoptext</texcode> Both scripts (serif and sans nimbus) map the fonts names to the different (existing) font style. Usage is implemented as follows: * The {{cmd|setupbodyfont}} command calls the ''typeface nimbus''.* The ''typeface nimbus'' calls the ''typescript [serif][nimbus]'' for {{cmd|rm}} fonts, or ''typescript [sans][nimbus]'' for the {{cmd|ss}} fonts. The scripts then map the fonts to different font styles. ==Extension== The fonts can be changed by extending the script: <texcode>...\definefontsynonym [SansCaps] [name:nimbusromno9lregu]\stoptypescript % Define a typescript named nimbus.\starttypescript [nimbus] \definetypeface [nimbus] [rm] [serif] [nimbus] \definetypeface [nimbus] [ss] [sans] [nimbus]\stoptypescript % Use the nimbus typescript, which defines the nimbus typeface.\usetypescript[nimbus]\setupbodyfont[nimbus,rm,10pt] \starttext...</texcode> Note that ''typeface [nimbus]'' and ''typescript [nimbus]'' are different. Calling {{cmd|usetypescript}}[nimbus] ensures that the two {{cmd|definetypeface}} commands, embedded within {{cmd|starttypescript}}, as shown above, are called: \definetypeface [nimbus] [rm] [serif] [nimbus] \definetypeface [nimbus] [ss] [sans] [nimbus] ==References== * [[Command/setupbodyfont|setupbodyfont]]* [[Command/showbodyfont|showbodyfont]]* definetypeface (not found in the references)* starttypescript / stoptypescript (not found in the references)* definefontsynonym (not found in progressthe references)
